Application filed April 3, 189.0. Serial No. 346,380. (No model.)

most readily reach a desired locality, the construction beinghereinafter fully set forth, and the novel features of the samedefinitely claimed.

It also consists in providing a syringe with a folding handle.

Figure l represents a top or plan view of a syringe embodying ourinvention. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3represents an enlarged view of a portion of Fig. 2. Fig. Llrepresents asect-ion of a modication.

Similar letters of reference indicate c( rresponding parts in theseveral iigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a sleeve or tube within which istelescopically or movable fitted a pipe B, one end of which latter isprovided with a perforated head or nozzle C, and the other end isadapted to have connected with it a piece of suitable tubing D forsupplying said pipe B with water or other iiuid, it being noticed thatthe pipe is considerably longer than the sleeve.

On the periphery of the pipe is a rack E, with which meshes a pinion F,the latter being connected with a shaft G, whose bearings when thesyringe is not in use, when it may be placed in a box, wrapping, &c.

The sleeve A is provided With a guard K and the pipe B with a stop-cockL, both for evident purposes.

It Will be seen that when the handle J is grasped the head end of thepipe may be inserted in the vagina, anus, or other locality, limited bythe guard, and the pinion is then rotated, whereby the pipe may begently and gradually moved until the head C reaches the desired spot.The cock L is opened and the fluid thus admitted into 'the pipe and isinj ected or sprayed therefrom through the head,

thus acting upon surrounding objects. When the operation isaccomplished, the supply of iuid is out off, when the pipe may beWithdrawn by proper operat-ion of the pinion F and the syringe fullyremoved from the place of service.

We do not limit ourselves to the rack and pinion as means for moving oradjusting the pipe B, as other devices may be employed therefor, as inFig. 4, where a lever M is eniployed, the same being mounted on thesleeve A and engaging with the pipe B by a pin N, which latter passesthrough a slot P in said sleeve, and is secured to said lever M and pipeB so that by the operation of the lever movement may be imparted to thepipe in opposite directions.

Having thus described our invention, What we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is,d

1. A syringe having a pipe which is telescopically fitted in a supportand provided with a rack and pinion adapted to move said pipe inopposite directions for adjusting the head of the same relatively to theplace of service, substantially as described.

2. A syringe having a folding handle connected therewith, substantiallyas described.

3. Av syringe having an adjustable pipe and a support for the same, saidsupport carrying a guard, a handle, and means for operating said pipe,substantially as described.

Il. Asyringe having an adjustable pipe provided With a rack, a supportfor said pipe,

carrying a pinion which engages with said rack, a guard, and a handle,substantially as To the above we have signed our names described. y this18th day'ofFebruary, A. D. 1890.
